“ Must get Wyatt as your waiter he is a true gentleman. Was a bit upsetting about the dry and non responsive host (tall dark hair) and she dropped off menus before we got to table and left. Food is good but the view is great. Nice experience overall. ”
“ Absolutely stunning location. 2 bars upstairs and downstairs (beachside). There's a beautiful windowless dining view. The menu is quite pricey but once you factor in the freshness of the seafood and the ambiance, it's very much worth it. Located roughly a stones throw from the water, this establishment is on a main strip of road that runs alongside the beach for miles. The shrimp is filling and fresh. The hot and spicy crab dip is an ABSOLUTE MUST! Try the crab cakes- you will not be disappointed. ”
“ Thayne was hands down the best server we've ever had. Our cups were never empty and anything we wanted he made sure we got. Hes also very knowledgeable about what we were eating any question we had, he had an answer. Loved the food and service and will definitely be back. ”
“ This is an amazing restaurant on one of Destin beaches. We had dinner on the deck in time to watch the sunset and it was beautiful. The atmosphere is light fun and electric. Our server, Jess was the sweetest and she took good care of us making great recommendations. We both got the blackened salmon with the cajun and rice and boy or boy, it was so good, to die for. This was overall an amazing experience and we will be back. ”
